DistortedVision:
I went on to Aerialforce's website (
www.aerialforce.co.uk) and they have a live chat facilty so I asked them on there for a quote. Here is paste of the conversation:
"Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Michelle'
Michelle: hello how can i help
you: Hi
you: Can you please me a quote to upgrade the LNB on my Sky dish to a QUAD LNB and to run two cables from it to the lounge and one cable to two bedrooms which are above the lounge
Michelle: quad lnb £125+vat
Michelle: each cable feed from £65+vat
Michelle: all supplied and installed
you: so for the cable feeds I would pay £65 x4?
Michelle: yes it would be
you: Okay thanks you
Michelle: your welcome"
Yikes! That works out at £452.38 (inc. VAT). What you quoted was roughly what I was expecting to pay but this seems ridiculous!
That's ludicrous pricing!!!!
Though i have to say i'm not surprised, i know someone that used to work for them...But you'll find "national" aerial companies in general charge way over the odds for the services they provide.
Your best bet is to find a
local independent installer(preferably CAI registered) and get them to quote.
You can find a list of CAI registered installers
